Community Resilience Group Briefing - 19 February 2021

I hope you have had a good week. Please find attached this week’s email briefing. Accompanying this is a stakeholder update from NHS Highland on the vaccination process.

This week we have also started a virtual briefing to accompany the written one. The briefing will be filmed weekly and circulated so that you can access it at a time most appropriate for you. This week it is introduced by Carron McDiarmid, Executive Chief Officer for Communities and Place and Sheila McKandie who is the Head of Revenues and Business Support. We hope you will find this a useful addition and please do let us know whether there are particular topics you would appreciate being covered in the weeks ahead. The briefing can be accessed at the following link:

Finally, I am also sharing with you the Council’s winter edition of Highpoints. This covers a range of topics including particular areas of focus and work for the Council as well as sharing key information. I would particularly draw your attention to pages 22-26 which have information on welfare support which I hope you find helpful.

Best wishes

Alison Clark, Head of Policy, Highland Council
